Is there any reasons why I should've considered the netgear :unit? I didn't see anything on the box (after a rather cursory perusal) on it :about managability, SNMP et cetera. Probably not. If you don't see performance or reliability problems, no. It's conceivable that one switch can't do 100MB full duplex to every port at the same time. It might, or might not, be the cheaper one. Without test equipment its hard to say. (I've got a 5 port Dlink that I bought about New Year's, which has been great.)
